I miss The Mon Dog
How many does Athlone's away section hold? Looking forward to visiting there next season, another ground off the list.

I also miss the Mondog
I always hear people complaining about the away end in the Brandywell but we have the same view from the opposite end of the stand and we always have plenty of home fans there Maybe it's just that the Brandywell has a bigger than normal pitch compared to other clubs. Their is nothing to restrict your view either but i agree that the stupid greyhound track doesn't help!
So if you think Bohs are big read this. http://www.astronomy.ie/perpespective.html

Unfortunately Nigel i didnt mean a stand As far as i know its just a new surface that is being put down.

How much would building a terrace cost these days anyway?
Am I right in saying athlone will have to give up a certain proportion of the stand regardless if they develop behind the goals?

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Away clubs are usually entitled to 5% (I think) of the overall ticket capacity.
I thought it was 10%? Derry and us had that problem a few times playing each other. It could be worse In the USA its like 2% allocated to away fans, due to the large distances that most games are.

I've ranked the only away grounds that are relevant to me from the best to the worst:
1. RSC - decent ground but could do without the running track
2. Finn Park - I like leaning on that farmer's gate on the halfway line under the tv gantry
3. Ferrrycarraig park - ok view from the ikea stand
I've never been in Cobh
4/5. Fahy's Field/Drom (will these even be LoI grounds next year?)
If Bray win the play off tonight Longford's ground would be my number one; if Longford win I'd put Bray 4th - I really don't get the 'I do like to be beside the seaside' thing with the Carlisle: cold, windy, bad view, crap parking.....
Of course, if there's going to be a single division for 2014 then ignore this post.
There are too many 'Ifs buts and maybes' in Irish football.
Ah lads, quit complaining about the paint in the Showgies. If you had any initiative you'd do like Shams and bring boiler suits so you could get close enough to abuse players properly.
Do people consider the security staff when rating away ends? Who are the best/worst in the league?
